Alright. I'm pretty tolerant of the Black Lives Matter movement, to be honest, and I do believe White Privilege exists. It's hard to deny, honestly. However, I want to slap these stupid people. I think the exact moment when movements of this sort pass into the realm of ridiculous is when people of this sort take themselves too seriously. Everyone lighten the fuck up.

Why isn't there Asian privilege though? They're the supreme shitlords. Will your white privilege help you land a job in xenophobic Japan or avoid arrest and execution by Boko Haram?

White privilege in this country. Yellow privilege in Japan. Green privilege in Oscar's garbage can.

In this paper I am concerned with instances in which carbon fiber extends performances of masculinity that are attached to particular kinds of hegemonic male bodies. In examining carbon fiber as a prosthetic form of masculinity, I advance three main arguments.Firstly, carbon fiber can be a site of the supersession of disability that is affected throughmasculinized technology.Disability can be 'overcome' through carbon fiber. Disability is often culturally coded as feminine (Pedersen, 2001; Meeuf, 2009; Garland-Thompson 1997). Building on this cultural construction of disability as feminine, in and as atechnology of masculine homosociality(Sedgwick, 1985), carbon fiber reproduced disability as feminine when carbon fiber prosthetic lower legs allowed Oscar Pistorius to compete in the non-disabled Olympic games. Secondly, I argue that carbon fiber can be a homosocial surface; that is, carbon fiber becomes both a surface extension of the self and a third party mediator in homosocial relationships, a surface that facilitates intimacy between men in ways that devalue femininity in both male and female bodies. I examine surfaces as material extensions of subjectivity, and carbon fiber surfaces as vectors of the cultural economies of masculine competition to which I refer. Thirdly, the case of Oscar Pistorius is exemplary of the masculinization of carbon fire, and the associated binding of a psychic attitude of misogyny and power to a form of violent and competitive masculine subjectivity. In this article I explore the affects, economies and surfaces of what I call 'carbon fiber masculinity' and discusses Pistorius' use of carbon fiber, homosociality and misogyny as forms of protest masculinity through which he unconsciously attempted to recuperate his gendered identity from emasculating discourses of disability.
From within the paper.
The cultural production of surfaces is a sexed and gendered politic that is naturalized and is a way of extending and growing sexism.
It seems materials science is gendered, and useful material production is actually sexist because it makes prosthetic which overcome disability, and to be disabled is to be feminine (Not my words.) So by making advanced technological materials to improve lives, what men are doing is actually insidiously extending their sexist domain by neutralizing the feminine.
Modern academia ladies and gentlemen. And people wonder why Trump is a front runner. The crazy ceiling is so high no one can tell who is crazy anymore.

The thing is, they can replace carbon fiber with anything else really. The could put in Mickey Mouse or Dickcheese. They are so lost in their specific speak of their field of "science", that it loses all meaning.
Use smart sounding words and fuck reason. Very good article.

Taking wealth into account and being exactly equal, wouldn't you say it's better to be a white dude? I sure wouldn't want to switch.

Poor's poor.
And "white" dudes arent exactly known for getting along with other "white" dudes. The idea that "white" is a shared heritage is nonsense. Irish, Italian, Greek, Jewish, German, Southern, East vs West, etc, etc. when its just "white people", white people are biased vs each other.
A black dude from Philly, has more in common with a white dude from Philly, then a black dude from Salt Lake City, Utah.
Privilege. in what it is, is things like location. Poor white dudes are everywhere. They live in Philly, and they live in CT, and they live in Nebraska. Small towns, rural, and cities. poor black dudes, live in cities to very large degrees. Being poor in a city sucks balls. Being poor in a rural community, sucks. but is manageable for the most part. Less day to day shit, but also less "Help". They face different challenges based more on location, then skin tone.

Sorry, I meant equally 'rich'. I'd rather be white any day of the week.
I'll agree that being poor sucks regardless of who/what you are. I think I'd still rather be white, but fortunately being poor isn't something I need to worry about(currently).
